Lime Chicken Soft Tacos

This recipe is a fun deviation from your traditional tacos. The tortillas pictured are the uncooked flour tortiallas they sell at Costco. You heat them in a dry frying pan for about 30 seconds on each side. They taste so good and fresh!


Lime Chicken Soft Tacos

1 1/2 lbs. chicken breast meat cubed or shredded

1/8 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 lime juiced (If you have one of the baby limes I would use the whole thing.)

1 tsp. white sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground pepper

2 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. dried oregano

10 flour tortillas

tomatoe, diced

lettuce, shredded

Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

sour cream

salsa

*Could also add avacado (I did) or guacamole.


Saute chicken in a medium saucepan over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Add vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, green onion, garlic and oregano. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve lime chicken mixture in warm tortillas topped with tomatoe, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and salsa.

Honey Lime Enchiladas

1.5 lbs pork or chicken, cooked and shredded

Sauce:
1/3 c honey
1/4 c lime juice
1 Tb chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 (10 oz) cans green enchilada sauce
equal parts mixed together of:
mozzarella cheese, shredded
cheddar cheese, shredded
flour tortillas

Mix together sauce ingredients then add to shredded pork or chicken. Let the sauce soak into the meat for about 30 minutes.

Pour half a can of enchilada sauce in bottom of 9X13 pan. Fill tortillas with meat and cheese. (I added black beans too.) Then pour rest of enchilada sauce over top and cover with cheese. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350.
